Had a chat with one of the Aptos engineers who's basically in charge of the blocktime settings.
Told him straight up — we've been hovering around 70ms for way too long, and honestly, I'm running dry on things to talk about if this doesn't improve soon.
He actually apologized and dropped some news: they're targeting 50ms by next week. Turns out the Thanksgiving holiday weekend threw things off track a bit.
Not gonna lie, it's wild that you can literally just... talk to the person who tweaks these numbers. That's the beauty of working in this space — direct line to the engineers making it happen.

70ms has been stuck for so long, feels like Aptos is kind of disappointing.

50ms? Sounds like a promise made to rush progress, but it's hard to say what will actually happen upon delivery.
---
Direct communication is indeed convenient, but if the governance process is bypassed like this, who will oversee things in the long run?
---
Blaming it on Thanksgiving... sounds like the engineering side's progress management also needs optimization.
---
The key is, how did this 50ms target get included in an official proposal? Otherwise, it'll just be another verbal promise next time.
---
Being able to directly ask engineers to change parameters—this needs to be handled carefully. Too much power is being centralized.
---
From 70 to 50, results in one week? Maybe we should look at the test data before boasting.
---
Interesting, if this kind of decision-making process were made transparent on-chain, I'd be even more convinced.
---
Projects rushed to meet deadlines often hide problems. If blocktime is sped up, can stability keep up?

Will 50ms be up and running next week? Bro, if there's a delay, I'll short it right away. Don't say I didn't warn you.
